Transport governance

Greg Marsden

Chapter 5 in A Research Agenda for Transport Policy, 2019, pp 34-41 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter examines the changing nature of surface transport governance and what challenges the so-called ‘three revolutions’ of shared, autonomous and electric mobility bring. By paying greater attention to the formation of policies through networks of actors it is argued that the change in mobility will be strongly influenced by the business models, financing and strategies of the new and incumbent operators. This is not to suggest that the state will not be able to leverage significant influence over the direction of future developments. However, how it approaches this task will define whether the system travellers face is deeply integrated or whether such integration has to paper over the long-standing and new divides between individual modes. An overarching message from the chapter is that far greater attention has to be paid to how transitions which actually deliver public value can be brought about.
